Somehow the Eu lost its way nearly from the beginning. I once read some of the early Marvel comics, they really sucked. And I think, for good EU Works you get the same amount of bad ones. There is Jedi Outcast, but there is also The Force Unleashed.

Only thing that really bugs me, that some figures in the EU are just overused. In the whole EU-Span, for example, Darth Vader must have had dozens of duels which he nearly loses.
